Islamic Human Rights Commission Trust
About This Funder
The Islamic Human Rights Commission Trust, established in 2003 as the charitable arm of the Islamic Human Rights Commission, is an independent, Muslim-led organisation dedicated to promoting human rights, equality, diversity, and race relations worldwide. Inspired by Qur’anic principles of justice and universal human rights values, it champions the oppressed regardless of background through campaigning, research, advocacy, legal casework, education, public events, and humanitarian interventions. Its distinctive approach blends Islamic ethics with civil rights discourse, prioritising anti-discrimination efforts for Muslims and marginalised communities, addressing Islamophobia, hate crimes, civil liberties, state oppression, and crises like those in Yemen, Rohingya regions, and Palestine.
The Trust funds thematic priorities including victim support for discrimination and injustice, awareness-raising research, direct aid for UK Muslims facing hate crimes, international solidarity campaigns, and emergency relief. Grants overwhelmingly support its closely affiliated non-charitable entity, Islamic Human Rights Commission Limited, covering operational costs, legal casework, events, advocacy, and relief efforts—such as recent disbursements exceeding £600,000 for UK-based anti-discrimination work and global humanitarian appeals.
It does not accept unsolicited applications from external entities, charities, or organisations of any size, income level, or geography; funding decisions are made internally by trustees with no public process, deadlines, or grant rounds. There are no eligibility criteria for outsiders, as all resources channel exclusively to affiliate activities, primarily UK-focused with global advocacy reach. Distinctive for its unapologetic Islamic framing, focus on contentious anti-Islamophobia advocacy, and history of Charity Commission scrutiny over governance and affiliate ties, it suits only internal mission-aligned projects, excluding third-party grants entirely.
